Cogent recently provided Operational Technology services on an engineered wood project in the Asia Pacific Region. The project included a WESP (Wet Electrostatic Precipitator) which will reduce air pollution in the area’s heavy manufacturing district.

This was Cogent’s first project in Asia Pacific. Cogent was able to leverage the experience from North American and European projects and apply this expertise to this emerging market. This project presented new challenges for Cogent due to the manufacturing equipment differing from what is found in the plants in North America and Europe. As a result, Cogent developed a completely new set of design standards for OT and IT integration to fit the Asia Pacific market.
